Scholarships and Financial Aid:

Though Southwestern Michigan College has one of the lowest tuition rates in the region, we know that many students will need further financial assistance to make their educational dreams come true. The first step to secure funding is filing out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). All students should apply for financial aid. Although federal financial aid is primarily need-based, those students not expecting to meet the need-based criteria should still complete the FAFSA.
